Could someone please tell me if its possible to setup individual instruments on individual keys on one channel in piano roll.... hope i make sense???

Multiple drum tracks in one piano roll with fl studio layers

Sun, 15 Oct 2006 16:41:28 -0400

after boring with chopping audio loops in fl audio tracks
i tend more to use piano roll with ni intakt.

so my latest setup for multi kit/loop drum sequencing:

i have several intakt instances as childrens of one layer.
every intakt sampler has its own key zone.

so i can easily program all drum edits in one piano roll:

program with flp kind of interface for Linux

looks cool to me:

not like flp but cool, check:

Making natural ghosts with peak controller in fl studio

Mon, 26 Jun 2006 07:03:09 -0400

shit, so easy.
just put peak controller on snare channel and
bound decay time to it.

so snares with less velocities will have less decay.

nice way to make natural hosts from main snare when suitable ghosts are unavailable

Thinking of moving away from fl slicer & sampler because of lo-fi envelopes

Sat, 24 Jun 2006 13:15:16 -0400

if u think to check this just go to the project options and try playing enveloped drums with lowest & highest timebase (ppq). u will notice that quality changes so that's clear that fl sampler envelopes operate on midi rate rather than audio sample one.

that isnt so wrong, maybe using with most of samples is ok, but drums is definitely ugly harsh when applying envelopes.

so i'm thinking of changing the sampler for drums. that would have audio sample rate envelopes.
at least i think that's essential for me currently.
tired of of that harshness caused by low envelope rate. too discrete.

Layering break with itself: simple & phat

Fri, 12 May 2006 05:37:42 -0400

in fl studio i sometimes use the following to make break more crisp & phat:

1. chop a break in fl slicer.
2. copy teh channel.
3. pitch up the copied channel 5, 7 or 12 semitones up.
4. layer both the channels. so now it's possible to program both at once.
5. tweak envelopes of both slicers for needed groove.
some interesting results when one slicer has short decay , the other does long ones.
another trick is to make slow attack on the lower (first) break, so attack will be done with pitched up hits.
6. another trick is to swap stereo channels of one of the breaks and adjust mix with stereo enhancer. that's useful when break in stereo.
7. switching phase of one of the breaks gives some 'compressed' attack. also option to try.

Rendering tracks to mp3 & wav in FL Studio (Fruity Loops): quality issues

Fri, 12 May 2006 05:37:53 -0400

one day before tetrabrot complained about quality loss in rendered audio in fl studio.
i tried several renders, there's very subtle diff, i can be wrong but got some conclusions:

1. 16bit rendering by default is lossy comparing to 32bit.
2. quantizing 32bit to 16bit in fl isnt so great. so use of external dithering plugins is a nice extra. using internal dithering is ugly.
3. mp3 encoding gave some light compression/gating/distortion in my case. even feeling of drums changed. that's mainly because air between drum hits was eaten by some degree. probably mp3 encoding algorithm that neglects 'junk' audio. pity fl studio doesnt allow to tweak lame encoder so it's out of control.

so i tried to export to 32bit and then encode to mp3 with Fraunhofer codec with 192kbps.
i got much smoother breathy sound than rendering directly to mp3 from fl studio with the same bitrate.
will be preparing mp3 that way in the future.

Layering beats / breaks / drums with FL Slicer

Tue, 28 Feb 2006 14:02:55 -0500

my latest tendency to layer multiple beats gave me one problem - i need chop & rearrange beats simultaneously while preserving ability to have a dedicated bus for each beat.

since i'm currently using 2 bar beats (premade) sliced in fl slicer by 1/2 beat for rearranging in piano roll the solution came quickly: just use common layer for several fl slicers where all beats intended for layering together are sliced by 1/2 beat.

Random synth patch creation: linplug alpha, fl studio, energy xt

Mon, 05 Dec 2005 17:47:23 -0500

yeah, i love to create random stuff on linplug alpha recently. especially good for pads and fx. today played also. really i love it. random generation is nice cause i can make really crazy or beautiful sounds. why alpha? cause it give usable sounds quite of often after randomizing all controls. fl studio has nice randomize command in 'presets' menu item. tho that's pity cause many synths has many switches like 'mute' which after randomizing ALL controls give no sound at all often. alpha has probably a few or nothing (i dunno really ) so after randomizing it gives sound in most cases.

Creating beats in FL Studio's audio tracks

Mon, 28 Nov 2005 07:52:17 -0500

i've tried to make a beat in fl studio's audio tracks and that seems to be fun and creative.
placing samples directly on audio track has several advantages. ones of them are:
- visual feedback
- direct hit length manipulation/resampling
